This is quite a comprehensive view of herbalism throughout the ages! Anyone who's interested in both history and herbal medicine will find this a fascinating read. It's a no-nonsense dive into the past views, pioneers, and uses of herbs in healing.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I love the tone of this book! I wasn’t surprised to find out it’s written by an English author as I connect better with the UK’s sense of humor and style... there is a LOT of great information presented in a very digestible manor.

What a beautiful book! The book has a great flow from one topic to the next. The artwork and photography are breathtaking. I love the attention to detail with everything pertaining to gardens instead of just the plants. Discussing the different tools used was very interesting. Would love to have this showcased on my coffee table.

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I found this book to be so helpful! Homesteading and becoming more self sustaining is a big interest of mine so I'll take what I learned from this book and it'll go a long way!

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars I am a huge fan of allotments and community gardens and the book shows how easy it is to garden – even if you have a black thumb as I do. There are some great concrete ideas in here on how to get food that you grew into your tummy - of course, you cannot grow everything in every garden depending upon where you live, but if you buy the ingredients at the local greengrocer, you can still enjoy them as the recipes are well written and understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the food very appealing to myself and other lovers of food out there. Even if you don’t grow your food, these recipes will be of great use to you.
